Nobody likes bullying*. But bullying is a big problem around the world. According to the report, for about 100 students, there are 10 students who suffer from* bullying in the US.
Nathan Fellars is a student in the eighth grade at Centennial Middle School in Utah, US. When he sees classmates suffering from bullying, he knows he has to do something. "People often do something with bullying after it happens. I want to see if there is a way to reduce bullying before it happens," Fellars tells the Society for Science.
After studying more about the reasons of bullying, he has an idea to make the app Bully Block. On the app, students can share their lives. They can talk about people they meet, things they do or just share some moments in their daily lives. Also they can talk about the difficulties they face or bad things they meet. Then others can give responses*. But before people see the responses, AI reads all of them. Only nice words can be seen. Fellars believes that this will slowly stop bullying both online and in school.
"I want to see teachers and students use my app," says Fellars, "I love knowing that my idea can help somebody else in the world."
